A New Constitutive Relation for Describing the Flow through Porous Media with Unsaturated–Saturated Transition

The present work proposes an adequate constitutive relation to treat the process of filling with a fluid porous medium. This relation assures the problem to remain hyperbolic when the porous medium is saturated by the fluid. When the fluid fraction reaches porosity, the proposed constitutive relatio...
